Trunk/hatch bike carrier on a OBW?

Forgive me brothers for I have sinned, and I asked the question first on another forum... but alas, no answers so far :P

 

The short version of it is: I have a Yakima Little Joe bike rack. This is the kind of bike rack that is fixed to the car using straps, and according to the Yakima fitting sheet it should fit the OBW. However, don't know where the side straps are supposed to be fixed: the sides of the hatch are "busy" down to the area below the rear lights, and the side straps will be too low if placed in that there.

 

I'm not in a position to shed hundreds of dollars for a new bike rack, so this one will have to work or I'll have to bike to wherever I intend to ride my bike :) The question is: how do you fix it to the car?
